Unexpected formation of 3,3a,4,7a-tetrahydrobenzofuran-2,5-dione as well as arene carboxylic acids upon formal double exo nucleophilic addition of R1R2C-COO- to anisolechromium tricarbonyl complexes

Bis(trimethylsily)ketene acetals of the general structure 2 (R1 = H,Me,R2 = Me,Et,Pr(i),CMe = CH2) react at -78°C in the presence of Bu(t)OK with a series of arenechromium tricarbonyl complexes 3 to give as expected, after oxidation with I2 followed by silica gel chromatography, arylcarboxylic acids 7. In the case of anisolechromium tricarbonyl 8, besides the m-methoxyarylcarboxylic acids, tetrahydrobenzofuran-2,5-diones 11, are formed as the result of a double nucleophilic addition.
